INSTALLATION
The display is designed to be mounted with a universal ball-and-socket mounting
kit, in a Flat Panel or optional Flush Mount conguration.
Optional Pedestal Mount
The display can be supplied with a RAM® universal ball-and-socket system mounting
kit (Figure 2). By installing the Monitor with this kit, the user can quickly adjust the
viewing angle to improve viewability in changing environments. This ball-and-socket
system has proven to be successful in supporting an extreme amount of weight in
high vibration and dicult-mount applications.
Locate the ball-and-socket system in the shipping box. The kit consists of two RAM
balls on mounting plates and a RAM arm, with an adjustable T-knob and a packet of
three (3) M4 x 10 counter-sunk stainless screws for mounting to the display.
Mounting Holes

There are three mounting holes in the back of the Monitor for the ball mounting plate.
Take care not to strip the screw holes or over tighten. (Figure 4)
• Line up one of the ball mounting plates on these three holes (Figure 4)
• With three (3) M4 x 10 counter-sunk stainless screws attach this mounting plate to
the back of the display.
• Mount the second ball mounting plate where the Monitor shall be installed
• Insert each ball into the RAM arm
• Lightly tighten the arm around the balls using the T-knob on the arm (Figure 2, 4)
• Adjust the Monitor to the viewing preference, and
• Tighten the T-knob to hold the Monitor in position.
It is recommended the remaining ball be mounted on a at surface. Because of the
various surface substrates the Monitor shall be mounted on, the installer shall provide
the screws to mount the other ball.
Panel Mount
The mounting hardware packet is included with the unit accessories in the shipping
box. This packet includes four (4) threaded screws (approximately 7.6 cm [3”] long),
four (4) Nylock nuts and four (4) at washers. For installation, there are four tapped
mounting holes on the four corners of the unit’s rear panel.
